... except one thing. This is a voluntary scheme run by the BFRC and the BFRC is a subsidiary of the Glass and Glazing Federation - the trade body for windows manufacturers and suppliers.

An A-rated window system will have sticker-based literature similar to the codes that have sprung up on fridges and other domestic appliances in the shops - with the codes A to E.
An A-rated window will definitely need to be using low-emissivity glass in its construction - that is glass coated each side with a chemical that improves the thermal resistance. The frames will alo have to be constructed to excellent thermal standards.
